Titans are a desperate and dangerous team; the Steelers need to be careful

The Titans aren't exactly an elite team, but we know how the Steelers have notoriously played down to the competition in the past. Plus we're coming off a short week and won't have Polamalu or Woodley. We have no business coming into this stadium thinking it's just going to be a cakewalk.

The Titans are backed up to the wall at 1-4 now and will be desperate for win, especially at home.

Hasselbeck has a whopping 400 yds passing and 3 TD's so far, and Johnson has 73 carries for 210 yds on the year.

Their offense pretty much stinks as does the entire team, but we can't afford to take this team lightly. If we don't come in with our A game we could be looking at another Raiders fiasco.

One would think the Titans are the perfect team to play on a short week but yea, we all know how the Steelers play down as Blitz says. I don't care if the game is not a blowout, as long as we win, don't sustain any injuries, and just get through it with a win for a long week+ until the next game.

The steelers shouldn't take ANYONE lightly! At 2-2 their focus should be winning as many games as possible, not looking past opponents. Hell, if we were playing the vols instead of the titans we still shouldn't look past 'em.

"Today, I'm officially retiring a Pittsburgh Steeler. And as much as I will miss football, my teammates, coaches and everything about the game, I don't want to play it in any other uniform. The black and gold runs deep in me, and I will remain a Steeler for life."--Hines Ward

If the Steelers somehow would dare lose this game to a bad Titans team I will make a bold prediction and say they will not make the playoffs. Their conference record would then be 1-3 and you have to figure they are going to lose at least 1 or 2 more AFC games before the season is over and it would just be a devistating blow to their conference record in terms of tiebrakers and AFC wins with other teams. The Steelers as far as I am concerned already had their bad loss in Oakland a few weeks ago and absolutely cannot afford to have another one tomorrow night. Lose tomorrow night and no playoffs Ill stick by it...
